Hair Straightener As A Fabric Iron
Irons
work most of the time, but what about for small hems, shirt straps or
in between buttons? A hair straightener fits into these small spaces
much easier. You can also use one to iron and flatten out crumpled up
ribbon and cloth belts.

If you are giving a living gift (plant) to someone try using a cardboard
container as it can be planted along with the seedling or plant and
these containers are much cheaper than those nasty plastic ones that
just get thrown away

I love this idea nd of course you can make anything you like to cover those switches

Step 1: First step, the teeth!

First of all, you will need some clay, or polymer clay to sculpt some teeth.
You can do as many as you want, I made 6 of them for each side of the mouth.
Next, you have to bake them in the oven with the propre time depending on the material you're using.

Step 2: Second step, the gum!

After you got your harden teeth, place a small amount of clay on the top of the switch plate to create the gum.
Then, place your teeth into it, and make it look like real gum, like if their bases were buried inside the gum.

Step 3: Third step, repeat step 2 but for the other side

Turn the plate around and repeat the process for the bottom teeth

Step 4: Fourth step, the lips

With some clay, add lips to that mouth.
When it's done, add some skin for the cheek.

---EDIT----
Now you have to bake it if you're using polymer clay, or let it dry if it's air-dry clay.

Step 5: PAINT IT!

Next step is to paint it.
Be creative! you can make it look gross like a zombie or like a normal human too.

Step 6: Almost done!

An unnecessary step you can do, is to add some liquid latex to the skin
parts, and some crystal clear acrylic to the teeth and gum.

*Bonus* you can add a tongue over the switch :)

Thanks to Danny 1992 for the tutorial

Have you ever wondered how many things you can do with a Tic Tac Pack?
As a mom, I am always looking for ways to entertain my toddler while
we are out and about. Especially with activities that fit easily in my
purse. Anyone else? Considering I almost always have a pack of Tic Tacs
in my purse, I thought I’d take them to the next level and turn a pack
into a fun game for my daughter and I. Because what’s more fun than
playing ‘Tic Tac’ Toe with actual Tic Tacs? :)

This DIY Tic Tac Toe Game For On-The-Go could also work as a favor for a kid’s party or treats for an upcoming holidays.

Simply print the labels (see below for FREE printables), attach them to
your Tic Tac Pack, and throw them in your purse for when you need some
entertainment and a treat!

You can purchase Multi Colored Tic Tac Packs so it’s easy for two
players to pick a color for the game (check out all the flavor combo packs)

Whether you want perfectly even layers of cake or to cut delicate cheese
with ease, unscented dental floss can help you pull it off! Did you
know there is a such thing as a cheese wire? It’s basically a knife made
for crumbly soft cheese, but floss will ultimately give you the same
results. Nice trick!

OMG how easy is this and what a great way to use yoghurt that is nearing its use by date

A sweet frozen treat that you don’t have to feel guilty about!
Unfortunately, I don’t think the Yoplait brand would work because of the
way their containers are shaped (could be hard to get them out once
frozen), but most other individual yogurts with a soft top that will
allow a popsicle stick to slide in will work just fine.

This is not the job I like to sign up for (who likes to smell garlic on
their hands for 3 days straight?), but this technique looks like too
much fun to pass up! Smash, shake, and separate! I’ve also seen this
done with two ceramic bowls placed on top of each other (rim to rim) to
create a dome for the garlic. The hard surface might work more
efficiently than tupperware at breaking apart the garlic.
